“In my view, John Kasich is the most electable Republican left in the field… Marco’s great, and I would support Ted Cruz over Trump. If you got the Bush and Rubio people together in Florida, it certainly would help,” he said during an interview on the FOX Business Network’s Mornings with Maria.

Although Clinton is “viewed by the public as a dishonest politician,” Sen. Graham says Republicans will still be beaten by her.

“It’s about demographics. The undoing of the Republican Party has been over immigration. Donald Trump is taking gasoline and [has]poured it on the fire of immigration… Donald has gone from self-deportation to forced-deportation. I think among Hispanics Mr. Trump is going to get creamed,” he said.

Sen. Graham also noted that Cruz’s immigration plan and the Republican message among young people aren’t resonating.

And while the latest polls show Trump leads in Florida, Sen. Graham says there still “may be” a chance for Marco Rubio.
